My kids and many other primary aged kids have a high level of intrinsic motivation for ‘saving the planet’. So when Groovi Pauli brought his ‘Green Album’ out, my kids had some fun songs to help reinforce those ‘green’ ways of saying things in Chinese!
He has made a video to one of the songs on the green album, that is free to watch on YouTube, about putting rubbish in the bin! My little girl is so into the wonders of the sea, and worries about cigarette butts and plastics ending up in the sea choking animals…and maybe that’s what makes her and her brother sing this over and over, it has the same meaning and significance to them in Chinese.
Here is the cool song:
A fun activity to use the song to reinforce Chinese sentence structure, is to replace ‘rubbish’ with names of family members in Chinese, see if kids can work out which word needs to be replaced to say ‘throw little brother in the bin’ 🙂
Here are the lyrics: (you can buy Groovi Pauli’s Green Album on iTunes)
